In 2013, U.S. sugar imports are restricted by way of an import quota. The domestic sugar price is kept above the world market price of sugar by way of a federal domestic price guarantee. A special feature of the sugar import quota is that the rights to sell the sugar in the united states are allocated to the governments of foreign nations, who then allocate these rights to their own residents, just like a voluntary export restraint.

The quantity demanded was estimated to be 5.7 million tons, the quantity supplied was 2.7 million tons, and the price was $426 per ton when the quota was in effect. Also estimated (with free trade) was the world market price of $275 per ton of sugar, the quantity demanded would be 6.9 million tons, and the quantity supplied would be about 1.8 million tons of sugar per year.

In 2013, the size of the U.S. population was about 316 million. In the same year, the sugar industry employed about 6,500 workers. Assume the U.S. is a "small nation" when it comes to sugar imports.

a. what is the total dollar amount the U.S. loses or gains from imposing the import quota? How much of this amount is earned by foreigners?

b. How much did the sugar quota cost or benefit the average U.S. consumer (assuming each resident was a sugar consumer)?

c. What was the implicit subsidy per worker, based on the impact of the import quota on sugar producers?

2011 marked two momentous events in American labor history and of labor unions. It is the 100th anniversary of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire in New York City described in Baumol and Blinder on page 432. There have been or will be at least two television documentaries devoted to it.

The other event is the successful effort in Wisconsin to curb the power of labor unions representing State workers in that State. Similar efforts have been made in other States. In Wisconsin, workers have been forced to give up most rights to bargain over working conditions and wages after an effort by the minority Democrats to block the changes in the law by boycotting the session failed. The Governor's rationale for this new law is to save money at a time when the state's budget situation is very serious, but union leaders say they already agreed to wage cuts and suggest that the Governor is simply trying to break the union.

How, if at all, are the two events related? How are they different? How did the earlier event affect labor unions more generally beyond the immediate factory where the fire occurred? How will the action in Wisconsin hinder or boost the labor movement in the United States?
